1638
From the collection of Cleveland Museum of Art
Willem Hondius is a 1638 by Willem Hondius, held at Cleveland Museum of Art.
This is a black-and-white portrait of a man with a serious expression. He’s wearing a fancy, buttoned-up jacket with ruffled cuffs and a high collar. His hands are clasped together in front of him, and he has a full mustache and beard. The name "Willem Hondius" is written at the bottom, which might be the person’s name. The print looks detailed, with shadows and light playing on his face and clothes. Look up *chiaroscuro* to see how artists use light and dark to create depth.
Willem Hondius or Willem Hondt (c. 1598 in The Hague – 1652 or 1658 in Danzig (Gdańsk)) was a Dutch engraver, cartographer and painter who spent most of his life in Poland.
